Thanks for the kind words. The instrument is a Larivée L-10 CE that I've had for almost 20 years now. It came with B-Band electronics that developed a bit of a noise issue along the line. That system has since been replaced (by Evan @ Rosewood) with an L.R. Baggs Stagepro Anthem setup that includes blendable under-saddle and soundboard pickups.

Thanks. When I first started putting this together I was thinking, oh, wow... this actually works!

Nicest compliment I've had in a long time. Thanks, Bruce!

Thank you!

Thank you! I love playing this on guitar and when I started thinking about it on ukulele I was pleasantly surprised at how elegantly it lays on the fretboard.

@@mnkrice Even if it's a passing relationship that I've never seen offline and don't know the name of, I'm so glad to meet you through your videos in the world of RUclips. Your videos put my mind at ease and make me happy. I'm thankful that I finally found what I was looking for. After watching your video, I feel a little at ease, feel better, and feel comforted. thank you for the good video I opened a RUclips window, whether it was a coincidence or it was due to an unknown unknown algorithm. I'm immersed in your video that shines the most in my RUclips window right now. Your video is the best video. It's a very good video that makes me feel like I saw it in a dream someday. Please upload more great videos in the future. Even if the road to RUclips is rough and windy and windy and everything in this world goes away from me, I will always keep your video in my memory. Thank you for the algorithm that made it possible to watch a good video, and I hope you succeed as much as you worked hard for your dream.

Unfortunately for Nomnomsammieboy!

Thank you!

Thank you! Found this little used ukulele a couple of months back. It needed a little TLC, but it’s been a lot of fun.

Thanks, Bruce. Merry Christmas!

You’re too kind!

Thank you! I really enjoyed your video of Tennessee Waltz. That’s such a great tune and you treat it with such respect.

@@mnkrice thanks much. I remember I saw Allen Shad give a tutorial on that one. He’s an awesome picker.

You are most welcome. Thanks for listening. M

Thank you!

One of the great things about music is the memories it can evoke. And hey, it's never too late! Over the years I've had several students who started when they were in their 60s.

@@mnkrice that's true. I still have dad's guitars and I did learn enough to start back up if I practice. I even took a classical guitar course in college just for the credit hours. The memories are just powerful this time of year since he passed 12-28-20.

Thank you... and loved the travelogue!

Wow... a compliment from a piano player kind of makes your day. Thank you!

I’ve not yet written a tab for this, but here’s a link to the video that was a great place to start. You’ll notice I made some changes from this version, like adapting it to dropped D tuning and a few other things to take advantage of the acoustic vs electric guitar. I also changed the approach to the final section to make it easier to accomplish! ruclips.net/video/VUZSGBe1wgY/видео.html

Good ear! I decided to put this in Dm and use dropped-D tuning. This guitar has a lot of bass sustain when plugged in, so it lets that open low D string ring and support what’s happening with the melody line.

Thank you!

You're too kind. If everyone tried to create a little beauty each day...

You’re so correct. Most of these videos were made using just an iPhone and the internal mic. As you note, volume is an issue. Recently, however, I picked up a little Blackstar 30 watt acoustic amp with a livestream connection that allows me to take the signal straight from the amp into the phone. There’s a LITTLE bit of noise in the signal, but the resulting increase in volume is worth it. That’s how I recorded the Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy video a couple of days ago and I think it’s a lot better.

Thank you. Vince Guaraldi's original tune and pretty short and to the point, but there's lots of room for improvising!

Yeah… I have a problem with that!

Thanks! I need to get some more material posted.

Thank you!

Here Comes The Sun lays so elegantly on the uke fretboard that I'm convinced George wrote it on his ukulele! Approaching Gently Weeps as a melodic exercise, I don't really use a specific pattern.

Thanks!

Thanks for the listen!

Hey... if I'm gonna lob 'em right over the plate, swing for the fences!

Thank you. Thinking it's time to post a Leo Kottke tune or two.
